Chapter 1
Programming and Parameters
This chapter provides a complete list and descriptions of the PowerFlex 70 drive
parameters. The parameters are programmed (viewed/edited) by using a
Light-emitting Diode (LED) or LCD Human Interface Module (HIM).
You can also use DriveExplorer™ or DriveExecutive™ software and a personal
computer to program the drive. Refer to Appendix B
for brief descriptions of the
LED and LCD HIMs.
About Parameters
To configure a drive to operate in a specific way, you set the drive parameters. The
drive uses these three types of parameters:
•ENUM Parameters
ENUM parameters have selections from two or more items. The LCD
HIM displays a text message for each item. The LED HIM Displays a
number for each item.
•Bit Parameters
Bit parameters have individual bits associated with features or conditions.
If the bit is 0 the feature is off, or the condition is false. If the bit is 1 the
feature is on, or the condition is true.
•Numeric Parameters
These parameters have a single numerical value (for example 0.1 volts).
The example on the following page shows how each parameter type is presented
in this manual.
